Attitude of Gratitude

A friend recently mentioned to me his daily and deliberate practice of recognizing something he's thankful for in his life - no repeats allowed - as a way of ensuring he has an attitude of gratitude. My response to him at the time was, "How Oprah of you." Later, I realized this was an area I needed to work on in myself more, because indeed there is so much to be thankful for in our lives. So many times, especially recently, it's been easier to focus on what isn't right, rather than what is.

Here is a feature from ABC News that continues on this theme. A good reminder to focus on the potential rather than the problem. https://mail01.paycor.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://abcnews.go.com/WN/PersonOfWeek/story?id=6254778%26page=1
